New Joe Holmes

[SFW]

But isn´t Joe like John Sykes, in that he just releases a video and then disappears for five years instead of releasing an album? I feel like this exact same thing happens occasionally, but maybe I´m not just up to speed.

No, he has a full album coming out early 2025.

Bordin and Trujillo as the rhythm section. Cantrell used the same a few times on his earlier solo stuff.

Reminds me more of GZR. Like Box of Six or Man in the Suitcase. Both rockin

This is basically the Ozmosis lineup with a different singer.

no one hears Zeppelin? .. I was waiting to hear Plant screech in at the beginning but they waiting til the middle for "tuned down" screech hahaha

Some comparison but not enough to annoy me. Zakk's singing and style annoys me now. All that swooshy vibe and chorus and super fast sloppy picking with lightning fast pentatonics. He peaked and Pride & Glory. His playing was raw but so musical on that one. A real shame he just became a sloppy viking.

Agree, with a nod towards book of shadows vol 1, his best work imo

He certainly did. And what an absolutely stellar rhythm section it is...just killer. When this team was with Ozzy (take a look at the live at Buddakan DVD), along with ZW, that band was a juggernaut.

Killer man love his tone, Glad he's doing something, Rob on bass pretty cool too.

 

[harddriver]

I like the tune, the singer not so much......the breakdown riffs were good. solo was a little loose for Mr Holmes's pedigree.......

 

[RaceU4her]

for maybe the first 30 seconds or so i was getting excited thinking this actually might be really cool, but then the rest of the song came and unfortunately it wasnt that cool

 

[napalmdeath]

My thoughts exactly

Me too. There's better material coming.

Book of Shadows is fucking killer. Good songs , and his singing is great too

There are definitely some BLS comparisons to be made, but I actually kinda dig this. And the dry, wiry, under-gained Marshall rhythm tone he's got going here sounds pretty killer....Reminds me of some of Lynch's best sounds.

I’m with you

 

[dcburn]

He peaked and Pride & Glory.

Fucking right!!!

 

[lespaul6]

I liked the tone when I heard this the other day.. no chug chug gained out preamp tone where everything sounds the same, nice to hear for a change.

 

[espquade]

Its not the best thing he's put out , but I am looking forward to hearing more as I have his first Farmikos cd and it fucking rips from start to finish so lets see if and when we actually get more music from him like a full albums worth as I will buy it .

 

[GreatRedDragon]

Pretty cool to see Ozzy's late 90s band reunited.

I was going to say, I hear Zep more than I hear BLS. It's cool though, because Zeppelin ripped off other bands too

Yeah but (for the most part) what Zep ended up with was night and day from the source material. This, not so much.

I didn't mind it, love the tone and playing...I'll never listen again tho

True..I also am not likely to have this on rotation
